During a 21st Century Fox investors conference in Los Angeles this afternoon, Ailes refused to confirm or deny rumors that Kelly was going to be moving from daytime to primetime.

“Generally, I don’t confirm or deny any rumors, and that is a rumor at the moment,” Ailes said, according to Media Bistro. “Hannity is a brand that many of our viewers love and want to see, and, as you know, is one of the nicest guys in the building.”

The rumor was started by The Drudge Report. Citing “top sources,” the conservative news aggregator said Kelly had landed the coveted 9 p.m. slot.

Where Hannity goes if Kelly takes over at 9 p.m. is unknown, but he is definitely staying at Fox News.
